To me, I would explain that Mythology is a great teaching tool of learning. What does it teach? It teaches you how to learn everything else. It's the teaching tool that instructs you how to Listen, Read, See, Be Curious, Reason, etc.

For example, the wonderful Adam/Eve story - I view as a story of "the pain of learning" and "pain of understanding". The Tree of Knowledge being a symbol of listening, learning, etc. How we are born not with knowledge already in our brain - but how we must learn our own language (English, Japanese, Arabic, etc) and how we must also spend our entire life finding the harsh lessons that those before us already knew. The kind of "fall from Eden" pain of "ah-ha, that's what the book I read 5 years ago was talking about" when you make a mistake in your life.

I say this is a kind of society observation about the "Socratic" (as Campbell defines it) nature of the "wasteland" (as Campbell defines it)....

I observe that we often find Unabomber / Church bombers / etc social media accounts after they become "famous" for their big negative public events.

When do we see more the reverse? Why don't we see more Martin Luther King, Jr's emerge? ملاله یوسفزۍ? Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi? As they develop and grow...

Why are we so hateful and attacking of positive extremists? I think that's what Campbell was getting at with the authenticity of our society ideals... and what he must have personally witnessed in the press and areas he had lived in his lifetime.

Even the famous redditors like Unidan - seem more famous for negative acts than positive.

Campbell and Jung's point was: Why do we consider ourselves so educated and smart when we behave like this in a collective fashion. In a Democracy, who is exactly responsible for the total group behavior - if not each of us in helping educate and peer with each other. Exactly what ملاله یوسفزۍ said to Jon Stewart at age 16:

I started thinking about that, and I used to think that the Talib would come, and he would just kill me. But then I said, 'If he comes, what would you do Malala?' then I would reply to myself, 'Malala, just take a shoe and hit him.' But then I said, 'If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.' Then I said I will tell him how important education is and that 'I even want education for your children as well.' And I will tell him, 'That's what I want to tell you, now do what you want.'

There is a gold coin with "Walking Liberty", I think a 1/10 oz. (We need to dump non-METRIC ASAP - we already had NASA errors. Did nobody listen to Reason of Richard Feynman when he spoke in the Public Dream of NASA)

My Golden Idea I had a few years back - is to print the USA Constitutions and other Ideals of the Nation - etched into every sidewalk we build. Pressed into concrete. So you could Walking Liberty and not be a static stiff Statue.

Joseph Campbell himself in the 1986 interview to Public Reporter Bill Moyers - talked about the need to put Yoga or something into things. And there is a "walking Buddha" in the Orient.

CAMPBELL: Their mode of life was much more active than ours. We sit in offices. It's significant that in our civilization the problem of the middle-aged is conspicuous.

MOYERS: You're beginning to get personal!

CAMPBELL: I'm beyond middle age, so I know a little bit about this. Something that's characteristic of our sedentary lives is that there is or may be intellectual excitement, but the body is not in it very much. So you have to engage intentionally in mechanical exercises, the daily dozen and so forth. I find it very difficult to enjoy such things, but there it is. Otherwise, your whole body says to you, "Look, you've forgotten me entirely. I'm becoming just a clogged stream."

Doesn't the gold coin Walking Liberty call back to our Public Dream - The Wizard of Oz and the gold-brick road. I love The Wiz and the Original! Martin Luther King Jr. right there.

The USA $1 Bill has The Great Seal of the United States America on it - as modernly interpreted through Joseph Campbell in California in 1986 interview to Public Broadcast Stations Reporter Bill Moyers. Campbell was 82 and rumors are he was rather grumpy, but his Decryption was excellent.

The All Seeing Eye of Reason on the $1 USA is a metaphor for the True Detective. Campbell is himself such a True Detective who also speaks to the Public Reporter about the Public Dream of Carl Jung. "Private Eye" == $1 Bill. The Private Individual against the State. In Reason. As in the Walking Living Mythology of Edward Snowden; another Walking Living Mythology of the same order is ملاله یوسفزۍ‎ who is named after a Poet and was interviewed by the Mythological reporter Jon Stewart (Jewish) - who compared Swat Valley Pakistan to Our Garden of Eden State. Further, a real-life waking Myth is Leonard Cohen 'True Detective' Opening Song - he has his Eye of Reason in Levant and Oriental! This is all factual.

You have in triangular fashion, three essential themes on the United States of America One Dollar paper (greenback):

Pyramid

Desert

Eye of Reason

Frank's Death and earlier Funky Jazz Rock Dialog that people mock as stupid. (Steely Dan New York buds are a couple massive fans of Joseph Campbell thinking; the very name of their Music Band is a Japan Sexual Device. They also mythologicallly traveled from New York to Los Angeles in their recording work. I've seen them live in concerts in 4 states). I know good American Myth Talk - and Frank's is superb writing!!! The New York Film director Hal Hartley - I also met in person at one of the New York Film Museums (Brooklyn?) way back in 1990 where he screened his personal favorite film that's Mythological Local Hero. His films all have characters that talk like Frank, and Vince Vaughn is doing an Awesome Job. Go rent Simple Men to see this American Style of Mythological Storytelling.

The French Troubadour Ideal was to restore the Eye of Reason to the Church. Like the Buddha Chakra - of the highest level being a light above your head not of the body. To restore the Trinity of the Church from Socratic warfare and violence of marriages.

Frank finds out that his entire plans have failed, because of multiple Pyramid Schemes failing - that all of his own people were screwing him over, like printed on The Greenback. Even the Mexican Gang was a cascading Pyramid Scheme that got him locked up in a triangle on the highway.

His only True Old School Friends were also three. Barkeep, Nails, Wife. (Ray and Ani don't count as friends, they were just passing through the Americas Underground Railroad, Rest Stop to Heaven) Everyone else he had made handshake deals in Pyramid Schemes against the Federal Government of George Washington Reason stabbed him in the back - just as Paul Was.

"Blue Balls of the Heart" dialog - that is a vomiting of the Troubadour Year 1210 AMOR ideal if I've ever heard one. It's beautiful. It is "libido over credo" but lusting for the Desert Blue Barrels of Walter White! This metaphor is modern television Mythology as it's most beauty! The Public Dream has been deepened to point to the Pyramid on the USA $1. That's a Subconscious Depth Charge right there! Wow!

The forced pushing of him self. Walter White had Cancer and that evil man would not hug his wife and child in any sense of the Troubadour Fashion.

"“Never do anything out of hunger. Not even eating." By God, is that against the opening Moon Symbol as explained by Campbell to Public Reporter Bill Moyers. That's a fucking assault on the Snake in the Garden of Eden! James Joyce, Joseph Campbell, Dr. Stephan Hoeller, Dr Leo Buscaglia, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen would get together and have a Animal House food fight of joy over that statement! The Eranos Conferences actually did get translated by Dr. Stephan Hoeller to American Potluck!!!

Diamonds in his pocket. Maybe carbon consumption Earth idea? Gulf Oil spill in New Orleans? Not putting them in to the Whole Earth that the Mexicans dug - a Hole. NOTE: I have another idea for the hole below.

Diamonds in his pocket. Not giving the jacket. Native Americans not given the Diamonds that the Jewish and the European men brokered? (and wouldn't even handshake, they hated each other so much; Rodney King hate)

The different set of Diamonds from Rodney King and the impossibility of "cashing them in" because they were Blue (Blue Meth drug deals). Remember, Walter White wanted to get the Greenbacks for his Family, but he never hugged them in hippie style - and was all Socratic. He was a Failed Educator (school teacher) who taught in a shit way to the Society of America. In the end, his own Wife didn't even take his money because of his anti-Troubadour Ideals. He never listened to Campbell or Bill Moyers in School. So he died with his Blue Barrel of money and his Blue Meth - but his family didn't get any of it! They didn't want his dirty money. That's the Rodney King street-violence theme.

His factory poisoning the Earth of the Community. How one little town fucking up the Poor, and Ray's screaming at the kids to not play in the water.

The Highway Symbols of the show being repeated... and the highways Walter White drive multiple times. The "Rest Area" is a Public Dream Space that the gouged two eyes were left. Furthermore, "Rest Area" results in "Rest in Peace RIP".

The Pyramid collapse is the cited story-line for why he made the deals with the Mexicans, isn't it? He was so terrible in his listening to people - so Socratic and Anti-Reason that he didn't listen to the warnings about funding the War on Drugs in Mexico? I need to research to find the precise references.

Best of all, The "heisenberg uncertainty principle" is itself a Scientific Paradox - which is the very one presented by the Virgin Birth of Mary at the end of the show! The Moon Symbol, and the Snake in Eden - as Campbell explains in the 1986 Interview to Public Reporter Bill Moyers!

The "Blue Balls of the Heart" also points as a symbol to the numerous fertility of Earth themes of the show. The poison Avocado tree, and Frank's logic of his Pyramid Schemes. Jesus is the Tree Of Life, the Second Tree in the Garden - and here is Frank, poisoning the Eye of Reason of the USA $1. Furthermore, he has a true Troubadour - confirmed by the wedding Ring-Toss ceremony and how she spoke Truth. The essential Troubadour Ideal! Not sugar sweet Soda in your ears (Simpsons Reference if you want to find it). She was willing to die with this man, no matter what - and that is Isolde. But we do not have a Tristan, we have a Walter White - his Blue Balls of Oil Shaped Barrels of Greed being pushed.

"Walter White" name is Opposite of "Black", and "Rodney King" is also Eye of Reason to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and "Rodney King"' both famous Public Speeches of Global Education Reason and Unity. Frank is also a name Lanky Frankfurter of Europe. You have a Street Thug Gang "King" talking about a Super-Post-Doctorate Martin Luther King, Jr. and in Interstellar meta meta meta e=mc2 you get to the Catholic Church of Europe and reformation through dialog and confrontation.

Water White logic is fucking over Rodney King? Like met meta meta e=mc2 MURPH!!! Richard Feynman said about Reason in 1) Brazil Education, 2) Uniforms of clothing and Society Honors?

Am I certain, of course not. Campbell discusses that extensively and how Oriental Mythology (Yogi) teaches. We are Transcending copy/paste tropes here, to the Eye of Reason, there is no binary logic shitty trope certainty. But I think it's a modern television American Icon now that fans of True Detective could get. And the line so poetically spoken in Frank's oddball style is excellence by the actor. And the Audience is mocking the printing press - just like James Joyce had his "Second Season story" mocked by the audience resulting in the shutdown after the printing of Chapter 3.

The personal real-world similarities are just too much for me to ignore. The French Troubadour Year 1210 AMOR ideals expressed at the Wedding Ring Toss ceremony were awesomely written and directed. Frank vomited up the Troubadour Dream - and choose to avoid the "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal" of "heaven is on Earth, and French Public Gift, the Statue Liberty Lady is standing right in front of me - not the Blue Barrels of money in the desert that I push along to go purchase a Ride Home" (Walter White asks a Native American for a ride home, another Mythological transference of White Frankfurter to Mexicans). (Ani is holding her right hand high With Torch in bed on E8 opening, in direct defiance to Edward Bernays 1929 motherfucker that murders and atomic bombs Reason)

I'd love someone to line up the video clips of Walter White pushing and Frank walking.

Another thought: The Mexico Book of Life film also explains the symbolism of the grave dug into the ground. In poetic Troubadour fashion the hole also symbolizes that Walter White put his Barrels in the Ground - and his Brother in Law - corrupting a Marriage - and a State DEA official. Think about those parallels that Ray is the State DEA official corrupted by the lies of a false informer devil who passed a guy about the rape!

"le Cheese" detective insults at the writing of the story I consider seriously misplaced and James Joyce style Ego Vomiting after his Second Season release. Maybe some of you should take your wife named Tristan to Paris for her Forty Year Birthday like I did. We were literally screaming at each outer on which direction to go at the Musée du Louvre. She still divorced me Rambo Style over never understanding what I said about Marriage, haha! True ironic irony e=mc2 in my "Blue Balls of the Heart" experience. And further ultimate Meta - my ex-wife Tristan grew up in New Mexico and I learned a lot of Native American symbols while visiting her family. Her name, and my Divorce seriously got me interested in what Campbell had to say about the USA before Europe fucked it up in Conquest!

This story speaks to me in my personal life and my Steely Dan Royal Scam I feel is coming out of Wall Street and Edward Bernays. The USA Eye of Reason is welded closed by a Se7en terrorist who is foiling the two Detectives in the name of Newspaper Headlines by frog-croaking Reporters! You want a Real Mythological reporter - go watch the film The Killing Fields. The Reporter in this story is beaten to serve our Frankfurter by a corrupted State Man, and that also points to the general Socratic failures of Public Press in the entire society! Edward Bernays ruling over Truth.

The California criticism is one of my own life: We have Yoga places at every strip mall doing exercise of the physical body, the vagina for sex. We have zero Yogi Book Teaching - to explain the Walter White "heisenberg uncertainty principle" is the very meaning of the Eye of Reason on the USA $1 Greenback!

This took me a massive amount of pondering to decode! And like I said, my direct experience with my ex-wife going to Paris and the Poetic Name her parents gave her. She was born in California and grew up in New Mexico - and I have been throughout all these areas and know American Reason Symbolism and art well enough.

The ideal of Year 1210 Troubadour AMOR (not the Spanish word use, which is casual in 2015 - like "Subaru Love" that Edward Bernays has hijacked).

Not for money, not for children, not for any Reason other than Love itself. Listening and sharing. This is the wedding vows promise. All these mental Paradoxes are told in a choice-marriage wedding vow. And that's the Eye of Reason on the USA $1 Bill.

This is the same marriage in Islam that you see with ملاله یوسفزۍ parents - and the OPPOSITE of the Fiction Film A Separation from Iran. ملاله یوسفزۍ was named by her parents after a Poet who spoke in Troubadour Poetry Fashion and the Love Triangle was Ascended into Heaven. Chicago's Roger Ebert even commented that the Governments of Iran and USA could not both deal with marriage. He was identifying the failure of Reason on the USA $1 Bill - which even can appear in Pakistan with ملاله یوسفزۍ as a living walking Mythology.

Marriage is an ordeal, a war, of working together to overcome every day of your life the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. A Universal Paradox of emotions, monthly moon cycles (periods) and ocean tide waves.

This is echoed in New York today - and the reactionary hate that has been expressed by our Socratic Society:

SEE THE RIOTS this causes - like any time the Eye of Reason is used to challenge the fetish viewing of The Bible - just like James Joyce was attacked for saying that Irish society is a Bible fetish society* - and look at all the clergy and little boy fetish issues since 1920 publishing?

For a beautify telling of the moon and ocean times of the male and female form, and all Comparative Mythologies combined: the Book Life of Pi and Film. Is showing you that good parenting and religion is overcoming the irrational math of Pi. Further, that is the Troubadour Year 1210 AMOR concept, and further the USA $1 Paper Currency Eye of Reason and further the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. ملاله یوسفزۍ is your Teacher standing at the Podium!

There is even a Film describing the Paradox of Marriage against God and it's name is Triangle. It also has poor ratings, and it's perfectly fine told story. When watching the film, you must remember that she: ALREADY Divorced the "Funny Sounding" Husband - and that is why she is Single Mother. That's implied in the metaphorical idea of God looping her. The Eye of Reason on the USA $1 Bill Pyramid. Father, Son, Child, etc. The Love, the Unity is the 3. Husband, Wife, Unity. If you don't Love your partner more than petty fighting - you have a RIOT in your marriage. Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. himself is supposed to have had troubles in his marriage - as the idea was only applied to the Public Street and not his Marriage.

That was what the Troubadour ideal was - that Marriage was the Private Triangle.

The common use of the phrase "A Love Triangle" means to cheat. But subvert that meaning to a deeper subconscious thing. It means choice marriage. The very Birth of a marriage of Choice - and not of arrangement or ladder-climbing bullshit you see on fiction like Game of Thrones and how they always marry and are at war with each other. Don't rule over your partner like a Shit-Lord. It's a rule of the movement of the galaxies - tied to the hormone cycles of the human body - like Puberty, and Periods, and Menopause. Campbell describes all of these on a Earth-wide basis.

The Troubadours were trying to STOP the RIOTS of Marriage - end the wars. By saying that everyone was marrying for shitty reasons that were doomed to end in divorce and misery.

You can marry anyone, just make sure they Reason listen with you like the Hindu 3rd Eye or the USA Pyramid Eye of Reason. That's the Essential . Don't fetish the human's body - focus on the subconscious communications and build a personal vocabulary together to not RIOT and FIGHT all the time. Silence is the worst pain in a marriage.

The film American Beauty (with a wonderful Poetic United States title) correctly depicts this Triangle of the USA Eye of Reason. And the Military Socratic neighbor puts a bullet in the head of our Troubadour who is sick of the bullshit and quits his job. His wife is always Socratic in thinking. And the French Troubadour Virgin temptress is the "love triangle" that demonstrates that he declines to cheat - as he really does believe in Love First - and if she had been saving her virginity - this was a serious girl and she would find a nice boy soon envoy. Campbell references this as the French Cult of the Virgin Education System (Arts of teaching) in his 1986 Public Interview with Bill Moyers. These were a cult of non-fetish non-lust Lovers.

Notice, again, the fear of homosexuality by a Socratic Bible Reader Militant - puts a bullet in the Troubadour Head as they are in RIOT on the Public Street - and the POLICE are attacking homosexuals, blacks, and anyone who speaks out of line - not using Socratic thinking. Wear your pants too low, the Police will decide that you have a gun as you reach into your pants! Isn't that the very Real World example of a Politician who is a Closeted Homosexual and not with the Eye of Reason? That's what the educator Edward Bernays teaches to Society.

In fact, the shitty Socratic MasterMan father is murdering to "rescue" his son - and he has just become a Islam Thinking Terrorist who believes that killing a Sufi Muslim or a Navajo is a good idea.

It's based on collecting and observing what really happened deeply compared to the stories people market it under. It's like comparing the trailer of a film with the full film and how people behaved 10 months later.

Cross referencing the level of honesty in various societies and trying to find impossible to detect quirks of how we can stop fighting so frequently!

Cross referencing Love and Compassion through wars and their own internal feedback, attempts to stop wars and so forth on the internal level. You learn the value of hippie folk singers, but not enough listen.

Their ideas of other cultures and the Earth - before we had Jet Airplanes and Telephone!

How a Husband and a Wife fighting seems so much like how a Mexican may vomit if handed a plate of Japanese Sushi! Why do we ignore such basic observations?

See how the same religion is educated in 5000 places and learn about teaching and classrooms themselves. Theoretical Philosophy has no such Scientific Feedback like that!!

Accept how impossible it is to interview every human on Earth for 20 hours - yet attempt to do anyway! And then you also learn that if you come back 2 years later - their views are revised. That's the essential Reason Ah-Ha of Human Conflicts. We fake being static, when in truth we are Dynamic.

Anyway, I'm sure someone could write this better than I do. Please feel free to rewrite or do whatever.

Public Reporter Bill MOYERS: Why myths? Why should we care about myths? What do they have to do with my life?

CAMPBELL: My first response would be, "Go on, live your life, it's a good life -- you don't need mythology." I don't believe in being interested in a subject just because it's said to be important. I believe in being caught by it somehow or other. But you may find that, with a proper introduction, mythology will catch you. And so, what can it do for you if it does catch you?

One of our problems today is that we are not well acquainted with the literature of the spirit. We're interested in the news of the day and the problems of the hour. It used to be that the university campus was a kind of hermetically sealed-off area where the news of the day did not impinge upon your attention to the inner life and to the magnificent human heritage we have in our great tradition -- Plato, Confucius, the Buddha, Goethe, and others who speak of the eternal values that have to do with the centering of our lives. When you get to be older, and the concerns of the day have all been attended to, and you turn to the inner life -- well, if you don't know where it is or what it is, you'll be sorry.

Greek and Latin and biblical literature used to be part of everyone's education. Now, when these were dropped, a whole tradition of Occidental mythological information was lost. It used to be that these stories were in the minds of people. When the story is in your mind, then you see its relevance to something happening in your own life. It gives you perspective on what's happening to you. With the loss of that, we've really lost something because we don't have a comparable literature to take its place. These bits of information from ancient times, which have to do with the themes that have supported human life, built civilizations, and informed religions over the millennia, have to do with deep inner problems, inner mysteries, inner thresholds of passage, and if you don't know what the guide-signs are along the way, you have to work it out yourself. But once this subject catches you, there is such a feeling, from one or another of these traditions, of information of a deep, rich, life-vivifying sort that you don't want to give it up.

MOYERS: So we tell stories to try to come to terms with the world, to harmonize our lives with reality?

CAMPBELL: I think so, yes. Novels -- great novels -- can be wonderfully instructive. In my twenties and thirties and even on into my forties, James Joyce and Thomas Mann were my teachers. I read everything they wrote. Both were writing in terms of what might be called the mythological traditions. Take, for example, the story of Tonio, in Thomas Mann's Tonio Kroger.

Plato's Allegory of the Cave explains this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69F7GhASOdM -- Ego Learning is horrible Devil Listening is what Campbell is saying. That's Edward Bernays Propaganda. And not Mythological Listening of Reason. Thank You For Smoking Film covers this.

Ego Listening is a couple who loved each other in 1990, but 2000 can't talk any more. They sit there in silence brewing in anger. That's the education of Edward Bernays that is the opposite of Joseph Campbell. Same with a Father and a Son locking each other in the basement. Two Rdditors who fight and insult, attacking each other - because of a Soda Drink corporation that is laughing all the way to an expensive Bank - which is also laughing! The new film Inside Out is all about suppressed Reason, which is what Edward Bernays teaching technique does to people!

If sitting down and reading books seems too boring... the war is already lost. Feeding short-term desires is exactly what is wrong. Being always impatient and not listening is the very topic of this thread. Weird urges to go fetish fast food and sugar. To fetish a glass image on a Film of an actress and masturbate - and never talk to a Real Female!

The Solar Sun was burning in the sky - a nuclear explosion since before Man came out of the Ocean. You know what Albert Einstein changed? his LISTENING! And he listens to Reason as defined by Joseph Campbell. Carl Sagan, the same. That's the Monomyth Education! To be afraid of it is to be afraid of Dreams! That's what drives Terrorist crazy! And Black skin to attack White skin (reversals) people. All this is outlined exhaustively by Campbell.

Edward Bernays it the Socratic teaching technique, literally! It destroys American Reason - that no other Democracy on Earth has as their Symbol on their CURRENCY and EVERYWHERE!

"Kicked out on the Street"

"Like a Dog Kicked out on the Street" - Ray was. And his Wife also wanted to Kick him out of Fathership without Compassion and Love - regardless of bloodlines. I bet we could find 1000 Country Music songs and Black Jazz Music songs about that, couldn't we? And plenty of films. Chicago's Roger Ebert review of Iran Filmجدایی نادر از سیمین‎ Where the Wife wanted to Kick out the Husband and keep the child. Same story as *Ray's".

"Kicking Rodney King by the Police Out on the Public Society Street" - and the modern year 2015 solution. Public Wikipedia of Surveilance Cams on All Police Officers so we have the US $1 Bill "Eye" of Reason to watch what the Corrupt Police Men are doing in the name of our Democratic Society. A Democratic Society is of Richard Stallman's GNU/Linux and Wikipedia principals - not that of Apple Computer's fortified Closed Garden of Eden (the Pentagon).

Which is all amazing, as a little Girl in Pakistan told the same story about Kicking with shoes and her loving father. Examples:

ملاله یوسفزۍ - Listen to her tell about throwing her Shoe to Kick the Talabian in her bedroom rape (like Ani was Raped in the Forest by the Angry Corrupt City men as a young child).

This American man from 1979, between the spacetime travel e=mc2 period of Martin Luther King Jr's Death and Rodney King's Beating in Los Angeles. That's the Blue Diamond Earth's Odd Color condensed Carbon - of e=mc2 oddity! It takes a hell of a lot of time to make diamonds! And the Jewish have been trading for a very long Time as did e=mc2 and also Jewish traders of the Diamonds. Here is the Amazing 1979 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NW3RLnXmTY

Remember, like Ray's Dream - that Ray's Father is in the Dream of The Rose Song of Love's Seed! And the very theme of our story is the "Public Dream" Ray Has (A TV SHOW) concerning the spacetime of his Seed to Ani at the end. e=mc2 travel to Ani in South America across the Boat is essential to his time-shifting Dream Episode 2. His Seed travels at his death - which you see Ani flinch on the boat, impregnated in e=mc2 fashion! It's also significant that, like the

"Truth is Stranger Than Fiction" Another Society one-liner ;) Also a story about this in Film about the United States Internal Revenue Service and their Socratic Logic and non Eye of Reason.

Napolean: "Able was i ere i saw Elba" - Bible Exile

Stelly Dan has an Awesome American song about this! Been singing in my head for decades. It also Covers Rodney King and Martin Luther King, Jr! How Awesome are the /r/SteelyDan French Year 1210 Troubadours!!! It''s on the Album Pretzel Logic - which is a Valid Campbell definition of Reason - and the photo is a New York Pretzel Seller. "Turtles All the Way Down e=mc2".

Napolean was a French failed Suburb Troubadour (corrupted Military one) -- He is the Grail King that did not Reason. However, his one-liner is cool to reference (Linux memory pointer, from protected Userland of an Operating System).

More:

ملاله یوسفزۍ is in Exile due to her choice. Rioted and shot her in the Head - but did not kill her Reason.

Ani is in Exile - in a country without good relations with the USA. She uses a Reporter to explain her Reason.

Snowden is in Exile in Russia - a country without good relations wth the USA. His Underground Railroad was Hong Kong a Hub of the British Empire. He uses a UK Reporter ("Guardian") to explain his Reason.

Ani, Paul, and Ray are in Exile in a Hotel from the System like The Matrix. The title of the Episode references the Motel.

The Underground Railroad is the Society name for The Rose Bar Escape - of Subconscious dreams (Campbell) and Immigration. The UnderGround Railroad society name immediately connects the story back to Rodney King and Martin Luther King Jr's use of Reason.

Non-corrupted Press ("Truth Detective") are very critical to a Democratic System. As are Open Software Richard Stallman's ideals of GNU/Linux in Election Computers and Software. All this is Reason.

Propaganda quick shallow Listening to Yahooo!!!

Frank. America. Europe Power Empire Builder logic. Really wishes to ignore Reason of his Wife. Do we have Americans who are so Proud and Pride-filled that they would Cheer as they killed and poisoned the entire City? Yes, we have a popular well known icon. He is a false Cowboy - wearing the Hat - but slave to his Uniform Behavior of Logic. Logic is all about Binary Math of Black/White and Rodney King Beatings of the Black/White Police Cars. All those City Highways - the CHIPS show from TV? Fun show, but not truth. Leo Buscaglia in 1980 Sacramento speaks the True Detective of California - not distraction Entertainment American Buffalo-shit.. Who is the character of Frank - who dresses like an American in his Hat, but fuels the people who hurt Ani and The Earth Goddess? Here He Is

I can't get over the 1929 Edward Bernays reference in True Detective. I discovered it 18 hours ago and now I'm starting to truly recognize the James Joyce Session 2 reactions to this private broadcast.

Season 1:

An oddball Philosopher Peer educates you about a psychosphere that you can taste. Myth, "Public Dream".

"Stop saying odd shit" is openly mocked and "Is that what you think I'm going for?"

Scenes are deleted by the writer about marriage vs. children - as no Troubadour can fit that damn topic into his first story properly. You have to warm up the poetry, just like the French artists did.

Rust is a "Walking Buddhist" who meditates while walking - moving - to motivate the mind. You will see this mechanical - brain connection validated by Science in Autism Research (hand-flapping). And in his bedroom, he does say he meditates to the Jesus Symbol.

So, Season 1 was Classroom Education and a video game tutorial sandbox - to get you READY for the James Joyce Season 2 that is coming. Here we have Ray's Funeral being told in modern Rodney King metaphors.

A white man educated Yogi (actor) is introduced - who happens to just be talking to the camera - not to any character on the album cover - "Play within a Play". This is validated as the Audience's introduction to the Mythology - by having to repeat ego-confrontation to his daughter character after he exits the "Play within a Play". The message to US, the first statement (Ginsberg) was to the TV viewer, the HBO theater ticket buyer.

And away we Go - we have been in a Myth all along, the opening song now validated. We have just linked a real-world age 80 Walking Myth Mystic, our opening song lyrics, to an actor mixing Levant and Orient fiction works! Play-within-Play to Interstellar dimensions!

Campbell

Campbell spent a massive energy building A Skeleton Key to decrypt that Mythology story. And even then he noted at age 82 (huge decades later) the significance that he had overlooked the revelation of his correctness - a series of numbers spelling out that he had gotten it correct:

In Joyce's next great work, Finnegans Wake, there is a mysterious number that constantly recurs. It is 1132. It occurs as a date, for example, and inverted as a house address, 32 West 11th Street. In every chapter, some way or another, 1132 appears. When I was writing A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake, I tried every way I knew to imagine, "What the dickens is this number 1132?" Then I recalled that in Ulysses, while Bloom is wandering about the streets of Dublin, a ball drops from a tower to indicate noon, and he thinks, "The law of falling bodies, 32 feet per sec per sec." Thirty-two, I thought, must be the number of the Fall; 11 then might be the renewal of the decade, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 -- but then 11, and you start over again. There were a number of other suggestions in Ulysses that made me think, "Well, what we have here is perhaps the number of the Fall, 32, and Redemption, 11; sin and forgiveness, death and renewal." Finnegans Wake has to do with an event that occurred in Phoenix Park, which is a major park in Dublin. The phoenix is the bird that burns itself to death and then comes to life renewed. Phoenix Park thus becomes the Garden of Eden where the Fall took place, and where the cross was planted on the skull of Adam: O felix culpa ("O Phoenix culprit!" says Joyce). And so we have death and redemption. That seemed a pretty good answer, and that's the one I gave in A Skeleton Key.

But while preparing a class one evening for my students in comparative mythology, I was rereading St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans and came across a curious sentence that seemed to epitomize everything Joyce had had in mind in Finnegans Wake. St. Paul had written, "For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may show his mercy to all." You cannot be so disobedient that God's mercy will not be able to follow you, so give him a chance. "Sin bravely," as Luther said, and see how much of God's mercy you can invoke. The great sinner is the great awakener of God to compassion. This idea is an essential one in relation to the paradoxology of morality and the values of life.

So I said to myself, "Well, gee, this is really what Joyce is talking about." So I wrote it down in my Joyce notebook: "Romans, Chapter 11, verse 32." Can you imagine my surprise? There was that same number again, 1132, right out of the Good Book! Joyce had taken that paradox of the Christian faith as the motto of the greatest masterwork of his life. And there he describes ruthlessly the depths of the private and public monstrosities of human life and action in the utterly sinful course of human history. It's all there -- told with love.

More and more and More

He was literally teaching it at Sarah Lawrence year after year, like re-watching it over and over, and it still had revelations to him.

"Later on, myths tell you more, and more, and still more. I think that anyone who has ever dealt seriously with religious or mythic ideas will tell you that we learn them as a child on one level, but then many different levels are revealed. Myths are infinite in their revelation." (Campbell)

He was still compiling his encyclopedia at age 83 when he died! Where would we be today if he had gotten as far as Islam fiction from a Sufi perspective? (we have some hopes in some of the links I've posted here on this subreddit) -- The Fiction Film Life of Pi deals with this, and has a scene that exactly depicts this infinite Myth idea that Campbell wrote in the past of 1986!!!! In a Dream, the logical math Pi wakens to the Eye of Reason - and the Universe is shown inside his mouth! This is exactly the symbol Campbell would use - inside the head. Furthermore, Pi self-educated himself in All the Myths as a child!!!!

Back to James Joyce fiction and Nic Pizzolatto fiction. I think the parallels of critical response with James Joyce are just too damn strong. I am seeing thousands and thousands of comments that are like bullets bouncing off a rubber coated Terminator robot. They aren't going anywhere near penetrating the skin and calling it "dumb", "bad writing", "TV Tropes".

It's so incredibly insane to compare a Myth to a "TV Trope". A Sugar Sweet damn TV TROPE! Your Ears Hurt? - This is exactly why Campbell and James Joyce spent their entire lifetime devoted to the subject. For Campbell, including direct travel to Japan, India and experienced both Word Wars from both sides of the Atlantic! California's Dr. (free audio lecture here: http://www.gnosis.org/CJ44.ram) - as does Public Reporter Bill Moyers who interviewed Campbell multiple times.

At the opening episode at Season 2. I feel like the full assault, like James Joyce Season 2 - begins.

Joyce was so criticized in the press, he had to say:

"I might easily have written this story in the traditional manner [...] Every novelist knows the recipe [...] It is not very difficult to follow a simple, chronological scheme which the critics will understand [...] But I, after all, am trying to tell the story of this Chapelizod family in a new way."

"critics who were most appreciative of Ulysses are complaining about my new work. They cannot understand it. Therefore they say it is meaningless. Now if it were meaningless it could be written quickly without thought, without pains, without erudition; but I assure you that these 20 pages now before us [i.e. chapter I.8] cost me twelve hundred hours and an enormous expense of spirit"

Joyce: "It is all consecutive and interrelated." (Which is exactly a definition of the Nolan Brother's Film Interstellar God-message Myth)

The experience of having the printing press halted after chapter 3 by a beloved author! His criticism of the society so profound, their failure to listen to Romans 11:32 - that vomiting ensued in the ego of the society.

People read these books, put them down, and promptly forget the most important part. Which was the entire point of James Joyce in his Romans 11:32 Masterpiece!

LISTEN PLEASE to the full hour of Leo Buscaglia 1980 - and how he talks of his non-fictional Elementary School. It's Elementary, my Dear True Detective - that FICTION like James Joyce - can reach the very depths of The Bible! And as Campbell puts it better than I - 100% of us are failed listeners. HALF + HALF = 100%:

“Half the people in the world think that the metaphors of their religious traditions, for example, are facts. And the other half contends that they are not facts at all. As a result we have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies.” ― Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor

Please, go dig up the Gospel Of Thomas out of the ground during the middle of a World War II and listen to it! Please, time travel for me! It explains James Joyce's time travel.

P.S. if you think this is condescending, you are correct. It is also exhausting to make all these connections. Expect shitty expressions from me. Campbell precisely uses that word 'condescending' in one of his massive variations of Mythology definition. Telling you that a Space Alien created the universe - is condescending! Like Stanley Kuberick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey - 1968 - Aliens come and give Apes their 10 commandments tablet. It's a very popular viewpoint throughout the ego systems of every society. And, we fight wars with each other, willingly - even in democratic nations. We are not listening. The non-condescending Interstellar Film shows precisely the opposite of 2001: A Space Odyssey - an Earth organic cooperative - similar in theme to the Navajo blowing Corn Pollen Path Sand Paintings and other metaphors - which Campbell outlined in his 1986 book about outer space stories. Murph's bookshelf is the source of the God - and it is all fiction. There is no such thing as non-fiction in the universe. Science and Religion are one thing, and it's all in the metaphors! Campbell exhaustively explains this throughout his body of work.

Just let me piss in your ear. Please. I'm tired. Don't worry about how I say it - listen! That's the point of Mythological stories. Marty says to Rust: Stop Saying Odd Shit - "Is that What I'm Going for Here?" - further in season 2 - Frank's shitty educator says "Stop pissing in people's ear".

Elliot's speech at the start of Episode 1 is talking to the audience. He is sitting as a teacher, professor, at the front of a class - and talking to zero of our Hero Team. Except, of course, the camera shows it - to the audience individuals. To emphasize this, after he exits the classroom he repeated it to personally to Ani in bi-directional conversation. Guess who is the True Detective? She had a personal connection to an Oriental Yogi who healed her emotional sex issues - and by connecting the dot's - listening to Rodney King - and Martin Luther King, Jr. - It's a very complex story.

Small Example: Ghost Busters!

This is the smaller simpler kinder Rodney King story, told from New York City. I know how absurd that sounds, it's fiction, right? Go spend 8 years in the library reading Campbell and the Eye of Reason on your $1 Bill will start to make sense and I won't sound insane! If you skip the 8 years, like Cliff Notes of New York Detective Mills - you will be screaming Dante's name and that I'm an idiot.

Ghostbusters Critical, most critical, to pay attention to the early scenes of how angry and pissed off the city is. Fucking New York is in a kind of peaceful RIOT - like your Reddit experience of Fat People Hate recently. Watch it 15 times, the first part, about how angry people are and intolerant. This is the same as the Police State toward Rodney King in Los Angeles - the "Greater Truth" of a society, as Campbell defines.

The GhostBuster Team comes together to use Reason to unite New York City and dance and sing and save the world! The French Troubadour Poetry gift of society rebirth in Tristan and Isolde. Troubadour are artists, fiction. So is the man who created the artwork of The Statue of Liberty. But fiction is better than logic science classrooms, more deep, as Campbell explains over and over and over and over and over.

That's it! A begin and an end. It's the same entire structure of the story of True Detective Season 2. A group of heroes comes together to rescue the massive large green earth-saving idea of Liberty. The key change is the pondering, the ideas, the thinking. The Evil God asked them to DREAM of the Marshmallow Man - the monster. It wasn't until the learned to manage their dreams that they stopped the Riot. Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a Dream" speech applies directly to the famous words of Rodney King.

Mythology is the dream of the Universe - and so is True Detective Season 2. The Myth of the film Ghostbusters is on one of our stamped gold coins "Walking Liberty".

I can not scream loud enough. I can not piss and shit in your ear any better than this. the 10 hours of True Detective can be heavily enjoyed if interpreted from a Mythological viewpoint - which can take years. And if you need education - GO TO Joseph Campbell or Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. Read, re-read, and re-read. That's what people do with song lyrics, listen over and over.

Ghostbusters - spiritual angst busters, renewal. It's a Fairy Tale kindness, no good guy gets killed on the Team. The angry spirits, the hearts of the people, bound up in peer to peer emotional hate. The (Carl Jung) Public Dream is all pissed off. And our clumsy heroes save it with weapons. (Weapons, which is a terrible, bad, devil idea). But our Film Writer is telling you to stop being so pissed off at words and stories. Like Rodney King did.

My posting is motivated by the pain of compassion. I'm not trying to insult you. Nor is True Detective - it's supposed to be a fun way to educate - a great beautiful complex art. I gave the more complex version in James Joyce's reader vomiting after Chapter 3 of his book. THEY FORCED Joyce's printer to stop releasing the book of "Season 2". The criticism and fans were angry as hell. Now, it's considered a great deep story - like The Bible fiction.

The Finnegan's funeral story clashed with critic's expectations of how a fiction novel should be written and read. I think there are similar conflicts to recognize the Mythology storytelling techniques in this newly released TV series.

Joseph Campbell even commented on Myth's acceptance if broadcast on Television in his 1986 Interview at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch:

CAMPBELL: There is something magical about films. The person you are looking at is also somewhere else at the same time. That is a condition of the god. If a movie actor comes into the theater, everybody turns and looks at the movie actor. He is the real hero of the occasion. He is on another plane. He is a multiple presence.

What you are seeing on the screen really isn't he, and yet the "he" comes. Through the multiple forms, the form of forms out of which all of this comes is right there.

MOYERS: Movies seem to create these large figures, while television merely creates celebrities. They don't become models as much as they do objects of gossip.

CAMPBELL: Perhaps that's because we see TV personalities in the home instead of in a special temple like the movie theater.

Finnegan's Wake

James Joyce's first book, Ulysses, was released chapter by chapter starting in 1918. It became very popular - similar to the acceptance of Season 1 of True Detective. Then the popular author wrote a second novel Finnegan's Wake - that was way more complicated and difficult. And the critics turned against him! It is a LEGEND IN BOOK PUBLISHING.

True Detective writer Nic Pizzolatto has been in the press for having given actors thick backstory pages that are not dialog to the script. From Wikipedia on James Joyce: Joyce's method became one of "increasingly obsessional concern with note-taking, since [he] obviously felt that any word he wrote had first to have been recorded in some notebook." As Joyce continued to incorporate these notes into his work, the text became increasingly dense and obscure.

Finnegan's Wake started to be published chapter-by-chapter and the publishers refused it after chapter 3. People deeply desired another story just as good as Ulysses - and what was published in this new funeral story was way more complicated and mythological.

Reactions to Finnegan's Wake

Wikipedia: Despite James Joyce's revolutionary techniques, the author repeatedly emphasized that the book was neither random nor meaningless; with Ellmann quoting the author as having stated: "I can justify every line of my book." To Sisley Huddleston he stated "critics who were most appreciative of Ulysses are complaining about my new work. They cannot understand it. Therefore they say it is meaningless. Now if it were meaningless it could be written quickly without thought, without pains, without erudition; but I assure you that these 20 pages now before us [i.e. chapter I.8] cost me twelve hundred hours and an enormous expense of spirit."
(from Wikipedia)

Inspired Campbell

Eventually, New Yorker Joseph Campbell (raised by his parents as a Catholic) became so fascinated he wrote an entire paper about how to decode Finnegan's Wage -- it is called A Skeleton Key to Finnegan's Wake - basically Campbell created an entire (metaphorical) Wikipedia to help a reader unlock all the interesting complex metaphors, images, and poetry of the novel!

Finnegan's Wake was not a normal novel. it was a revolution in modern novel writing. And Campbell spent the rest of his life teaching at University and writing many educational books about this type of story telling throughout human history.

I see a lot of similarity in how people are processing the story of True Detective. Film and images have a lot more dense content - and techniques - but the overwhelming technique is going to be Mythological story. Star Wars is Mythological storytelling - but very few Science Fiction Films are. There is a large canyon between Myth and Myth MEME-like fiction stories, which Campbell covers extensively in his lifetime of work. In the field of Science Fiction - an inspiring American Myth writer is Phillip K Dick - who directly referenced Jewish in his least-popular works - and often exhibited the kind of odd personal behavior of a Mystic that Campbell details.

Now it's debatable how much Myth story there is to True Detective: Season 2 - but I surely recognize it as Mythology storytelling already - and almost all the complaints about style and plot-line I have seen are due to misreading of the Myth depth and symbolism. For all I know, 6 months from now I'll recognize a major new dream metaphor that I don't see today, so again - how large is it - that's the unknown to me. Is it a small myth or a large myth.

NOTE: This needs editing and clean-up. I have other stuff going on and will try to do so.

The ending of the recent series Halt and Catch Fire depicted a virus as an accidental creation, and anti-virus as intentional. The reality is the first network worms were created in fiction ideas, such as in John Brunner's 1975 novel, The Shockwave Rider. Fiction of year 2015, depicting a 1980's fiction, etc. The Myth being here, ties to things like the Trojan Horse.

Computers were bliss and free of this kind of intention. Much like Usenet provides a history of the Public Commons for text-based multi-person conversation. And the history of the first commercialized advertising (spam) is known.

So this is what happens to the metaphorical Heaven. Computer virus and junk start to consume it. I suspect there is some relative to other ideas - in Mythology and legends.

Pure peer to peer conversation is attacked and distorted, with lies and deceptive intentions (virus, worm, Trojan horse, etc). This explains many of the observations of Comparative Mythology as far back as Campbell's earliest work - and how much people can be intent on attacking the True Heaven (peer to peer) and mentally directing a society.

Put simply - computer software and hardware had bugs - but it actually took a while before managing SPAM and anti-virus became a total nightmare. I personally was a professional in the computer systems fields from 1985 onward - witnessing and experiencing these events. I wrote Social Media software (BBS) systems as my first business projects.
